On the role of warm rain clouds in the tropics
… using Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite measurements. The algorithm uses TRMM Microwave Imager (TMI) brightness temperatures that have been deconvolved to the 19-GHz field-of-view (FOV) to retrieve cloud liquid water path (LWP), total precipitable water, and wind speed. …

Numerical modelling of the coastal ocean off Tanzania
… with the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) Microwave Imager (TMI) sea surface temperature (SST) measurements for the same region. Although broadly comparable, the model SST was generally warmer than that of TMI data. The high SSTs in the Tanzanian coastal waters (greater than 28°C) …

Uncertainties in space-based estimates of clouds and precipitation: implications for deriving global diabatic heating
… cloud and precipitation profiles from passive microwave observations from the TRMM Microwave Imager while the second applies a different technique to the same observations in an effort to derive estimates of non-precipitating liquid cloud. Finally, the third algorithm makes use of infrared …

An On-orbit Calibration Procedure for Spaceborne Microwave Radiometers Using Special Spacecraft Attitude Maneuvers
… methods that can be used to calibrate spaceborne microwave radiometers once in orbit. The on-orbit calibration methods discussed within this dissertation can provide accurate and early results by utilizing Calibration Attitude Maneuvers (CAM), which encompasses Deep Space Calibration (DSC) and a …
